Kenny Chesney's fans are set to enjoy more special stuff from the country star with the upcoming launch of his own radio program. The country singer has been given his own channel by XM Satellite Radio called the "No Shoes Radio", which will start airing from July 26 to October 25 on XM's channel 18.

The new program will not only give all the songs from Kenny's albums, but also some rare and never been heard tracks, exclusive broadcast from the country singer's concerts and special visits from friends and fans. Revealing about the features on his upcoming radio program the singer said, "There's a lot of hits, but there are also a lot of album tracks, songs from the early part of my career, stuff from our Keg in the Closet shows and obscurities that you had to be there to hear."

Moreover, promoting his radio program Kenny stated to his fans that "No Shoes Radio" will be a cool show. "I think we've become a part of people's lives. The way a lot of bands were for us, we're what they're listening to when they're hanging out, when they're having fun, when they need to gear up for something. That's what music always did for me ... and it's kind of mind-blowing to think that your songs could be that for someone else. So for all those fans out there, get ready for something pretty cool," Kenny said.

Meanwhile, explaining the decision XM Radio gives Kenny his own radio program, XM's executive vice president, Eric Logan said, "Kenny's a tremendous talent and we're excited to share his passion for music and life on XM." Logan then also added, "'No Shoes Radio' will bring the same energy and fun found in the parking lot tailgates and the sold-out stadiums Kenny plays to fans across the country."
